I bought the $20.ish toy version and am disappointed with how quiet it is. Does anyone have experience with both products and know if this is louder?

I have both, and in my case, when closed, the remote is quieter than the toy. When it is extended, it's slightly louder, but not by too much. There are also about a dozen sound effects and some seem louder to me than others. It's still very cool though!

Well they're pretty much the same volume level. The remote sounds better though, replicating the sfx on the show. The remote's emitter needs to be extended to achieve that same volume level too. When it's retracted it sounds even quieter. But i wouldn't get it if you're planning on going mobile with it. Its a good chunk of change to risk breaking on the move or cosplaying , etc.

This machine started off quiet, but soon after started squeaking at the handles. I live in a house so no neighbors to bother but I still use a mat under it. The main noise for me are the handles that squeak at random. Not a really big deal for me. I still love it. Good luck!!

Well ours is not that loud. We can hear the baby over it just fine. Also we have not had to change the batteries at all yet. I suppose that depends on how much it is played with my daughter has played with it a fair amount but not constantly.

Well, I think quiet is relative. It's a lot less noisy than some blow dryers I've owned, but it still makes noise...more like an air blowing "hum" than a loud gushing air sound. Hope that makes sense!

Having been surrounded by loud dryers at show I have found this one to be fairly quiet. I have read many reviews about it being loud but compared to many, many others I have been around it is NOT loud. My Golden actually likes this better than my personal hairdryer. Hope that helps. I really have been impressed with the quality of this little dryer.

Dear Anne,I have yet to find a vacuum cleaner which is quiet. I do not think that this model is any noisier than any other but, of course, you may disagree.I recommend that you do what my wife and I do: use ear plugs while vacuuming. Yes, this can be annoying, but it is better than possibly damaging your hearing. (My wife wears ear plugs when using a blow-dryer too.)Meanwhile, this vacuum cleans like a champ. Don't you agree?I hope this answer helps you.Lawrence H. Bulk

Hi there, there is no silent mode and two levels of volume: low and high, like other typical fisher price toys.

It is not that quiet on loud, but not terribly loud either. You should not have to hold it to your ear on loud, although it is not as loud as many toys (which is why it is more tolerable to everyone else in the room or car who have to hear it over and over!)

my 3 year old is sensitive to loud sounds as well and he seems to do good with this. it only has one sound option but there are several different buttons to change the sound and some of them seem a little quieter but there is not a "volume'' option.

I just got online to check review of the Little Mommy real loving doll. My daughter received this doll for Christmas and it makes the LOUDEST noises when the doll moves, especially when she moves her arms down, it sounds like it is a very loud grinding noise, it doesn't sounds normal. she talks fine, but am wondering if it is defective b/c it is so loud/robotic/grinding when she moves.

I purchased this one from Amazon and found it was defective too. From the beginning, it did not make sound or move easily, i.e., you have to press its paws or somewhere really very hard to get it to act. After a while, it did not move at all. We contacted the toy maker and they sent us a shipment tag to mail the toy back. They are willing to refund it as the toy is not in inventory. But we have not received the refund check yet. It may take a while though. We ordered the second one from Amazon for our daughter as she really loves this toy. The second one is wonderful. She has it for over 2 weeks and it is perfect still.

no, very quiet, but it does come with optional lullabye music tracks. The battery compartment enables a gentle vibration in addition to the glider, and that might create a very low hum, but I am not sure since we haven't operated that option.

Super quiet!! I use it while my 2 year old sleeps. My mom has the Brevel and it's way noisier.

It makes no noise at all, although we just got it. It doesn't seem like it will make sound. Very solid chair with a 'silent glide' now anyway. You can try out similar models at Babies R Us, if you want to sit it one yourself. Just don't buy it there b/c a custom color will take 3+ mos and will be a few hundred $$ more.

I agree. The phone is alot more quiet than the other two toys I bought. They were the remote control and the hand radio. They are both much louder and my grandson loves both of them.

This is totally subjective, obviously. :-) We don't mind it, but we live in a big house with no neighbors, so we're not that sensitive to noise. It is not really loud IMHO, and the noise isn't really obnoxious (like a fire engine, etc.). I would say if you live in a small space like an apartment with thin walls you might think twice, or if you are the type of family that asks your kids to use their "inside voices" a lot. I think the only time it would get annoying is in the very beginning if your child just won't put it down and plays with it constantly. But since that would likely be short lived anyway, meh. It's a toy that makes noise, but I've never been bugged by it and my son usually plays with it inside.

I forgot I posted this. We noticed that it is significantly less loud when playing a dvd vs a blu ray. Trying to decide if we should return it and get a different one or not. So if anyone has this please let me know is you BR player loud?
